Very focused on Windows. What about other OS? Of the assemblers supported I know FASM works with UNIX. Also it needs no linker and can use libc. Isn't arguing over syntax of mneumonics -- arbitrary abbreviations -- like arguing over tabs versus spaces? (Arguing about personal preferences.) Isn't it the syntax of the instructions (hex/binary) that really matters? The recent presentation on finding illegal Intel instructions (sandsifter) showed how a little known operand size override prefix could cause problems for most popular dissassemblers. That was a great read.
